Oliver Stone: Charges Against Trump Are 'Ridiculous'
Barron's ^ | 03/13/24 | Jordi ZAMORA

Maverick American director Oliver Stone told AFP that the legal proceedings against Donald Trump are "all political" and that the ex-president was a victim of "lawfare" -- when prosecutions are used to silence political figures.

"Almost 100 indictments against the guy... it's ridiculous," said Stone.

"This is all political. They want to put him behind bars, but they're not going to be able to," he added.

It’s become so obvious that only the most far gone leftists can pretend that it’s not happening.

They’re doing the same thing to the American people. Turned foreign policies into a corrupt nightmare that’s draining the life out of the country, 34 trillion in debt, all this with government sponsored wide open lawless borders, millions pouring in unabated, as the citizens are forced to pay for all of it...Hundreds of billions...

I still can't believe he co-wrote the screenplay for Conan the Barbarian with John Milius. Oh to have been a fly on THAT wall, LOL...

Imagine having a whiskey and cigar with Milius, Stone and Schwarzegger in Spain as they filmed that underrated masterpiece.

It’s outrageous...And all so obvious. We know before all this lawfare they attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow Trump. They’ve been throwing down political spike strips in front of Trump for 8 years. Yet no charges, no indictments, nobody went to jail...Now they’re using the courts and the corrupt that run them attempting to derail Trump. It’s your face historic corruption and everyone knows it. In their hate for Trump, and the people, they’ve made a disgusting public spectacle of this justice system. Maybe one day those who orchestrated it, those involved will be held responsible.

I should add, the charges against Lula were accurate. Unlike the others he talks about, Lula really is corrupt.

The old liberals from the past were right about a lot of things.

War sucks
Poverty sucks
Racism sucks

Their mistake was being too idealistic and always thinking more government was the solution. Stupid stupid stupid.

The Republican Party is often called the stupid party - and if you are looking at the Republican politicians, that’s probably apt.

But when it comes to the voters, it’s the Democrats that are stupid.

Stupid stupid stupid.
